I have never worked so hard toward something that I want so badly and to share the stage with dancers who have only done ballet their entire life and they are amazing…and here I am… my 11th year of competing and this was my first ballet competition. I have strictly been training fulltime in ballet for only 5 months… It was so nerve racking! But I did it! I love every minute of it.

Bolshoi Ballet Academy. If you’re “inclined” towards becoming a good ballerina, if you have a disposition towards dancing, or even if you’re a genius, it won’t really matter where exactly to study - VBA or BBA; however becoming a great actress / actor is a whole different thing, and, in my opinion, BBA is the best place to be trained at for that particular purpose.
To be honest, when I’m daydreaming about my future kids, I’m always like: “my daughter will complete the “general” ballet training at the Bolshoi , and then she’ll complete the so-called “courses” (last three years) at the VBA, so she’s able to sharpen her technique” :D
Great answer
Natalia Dudinskaya (Raymonda) and Semyon Kaplan (Abderakhman) in the ballet Raymonda. Music by Alexander Glazunov. Choreographed by Marius Petipa. Mariinsky Theatre.
A favourite pupil of Agrippina Vaganova, the Tsarist-era ballerina who trained generations of Russian dancers, Dudinskaya made her name in the 1930s in the roles of Odette-Odile in Swan Lake and Masha in Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, and was known as one of the best of all interpreters of Giselle. Her exuberance and technical mastery combined the discipline of the Russian classical tradition with the fluid grace of French and Italian ballet.
Ballet is the foundation of ALL dance and should be way more valued in today’s competition world than it is
Why doesn’t anyone get it? This is soooooo TRUE😫💦💦💦💦gawwwd… *sniff*
